Not your typical science blog, but an 'open science' research blog. Watch me fumbling my way towards understanding how and why bacteria take up DNA, and getting distracted by other cool questions.
ResearchGate (which I generally ignore) has pointed me to what looks like an excellent paper on DNA uptake specificity in the various Neisseria species.
It's titled "Dialects of the DNA Uptake Sequence in Neisseriaceae" by Stephan A. Frye, Mariann Nilsen,
Tone Tønjum,
and Ole Herman Ambur. It's open access in PLOS Genetics; you can read it here.
No, I haven't had time to properly read it myself yet.)
